## Give Heed to My Cry ###### 1 With my voice to Yahweh, I cry aloud; With my voice to Yahweh, I make supplication. ###### 2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare my distress before Him. ###### 3 When my spirit was faint within me, You knew my path. In the way where I walk They have hidden a trap for me. ###### 4 Look to the right and see; That there is no one who regards me; A _way of_ escape has been destroyed from me; No one cares for my soul. ###### 5 I cried out to You, O Yahweh; I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living. ###### 6 Give heed to my cry of lamentation, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are too strong for me. ###### 7 Bring my soul out of prison, To give thanks to Your name; The righteous will encircle me, For You will deal bountifully with me."
